Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

put the numbers in order

whichever the middle number is, that determines your median

if there are two middle numbers, add them up and divide by 2

In a certain Algebra 2 class of 27 students, 18 of them play basketball and 16
Bogdan [553]

Answer:

<em>The probability is 0.89 or 89%</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Probability</u>

There are n=27 students in a certain Algebra 2 class. 18 out of them play basketball and 16 of them play baseball.

We also know 3 students play neither sport. This leaves 27-3=24 students playing sports.

The probability that a randomly chosen student plays basketball or baseball is:

\displastyle p=\frac{24}{27}

Simplifying:

\displastyle p=\frac{8}{9}=0.89

The probability is 0.89 or 89%

Use Lagrange multipliers to find the volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant with three faces in the coordinat
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

The volume of the largest rectangular box (V) = 81/4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1</u>:-

Given volume of the largest rectangular box in the first octant

V = l b h

let (x ,y, z) be the one vertex in the given plane

V = f(x, y, z) = x y z

given plane.   Ф (x, y, z) = x + 9y + 4z = 27 ........(1)

<u>Step( ii):</u>

By using  Lagrange multipliers

Suppose it is required to find the extreme for the function f(x, y, z) subject to the condition Ф (x, y, z) =0

Form Lagrange function F(x, y, z) = f(x, y, z) + λ  Ф (x, y, z) where λ is called the Lagrange multipliers

F(x, y, z) = x y z+ λ ( x + 9y + 4z - 27) ......(2)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ x = 0

                                  δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ x =0

                           ⇒ y z + λ ( 1) = 0

                          ⇒ y z = - λ ......(a)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ y = 0

                            δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ x =0

                        ⇒ x z + λ ( 9) = 0

                        ⇒ \frac{xz}{9} = - λ .......(b)

Obtain the equations are δ F / δ z = 0

                                  δ f / δ x +λ  δ Ф  / δ z =0

                                   x y + λ ( 4) = 0

                                    ⇒ \frac{xy}{4} = - λ .......(c)

<u>Step (iii):-</u>

Equating (a) and (b) equations

we get         y z = \frac{xz}{9}

cancel 'z' value we get  x = 9y  .......(d)

Equating (b) and (c) equations

we get     \frac{xy}{4}  = \frac{xz}{9}

cancel 'x' value on both sides , we get

              4z =9y  ......(e)

substitute (d) (e) values in equation (1)  we get

x + 9y + 4z -27 = 0

9y + 9y + 9y -27 =0

27y -27 =0

<u> y = 1</u>

substitute y =1 in x = 9y

<u>x = 9</u>

substitute y =1 in 4z =9y

<u>z = 9 /4</u>

therefore the dimensions are x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

<u>Conclusion</u>:-

The largest volume of the rectangular box V = x y z

substitute x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

V = 9(1)(9/4) =81/4

The largest volume of the rectangular box (V) = 81/4

Verification :-

Given plane x + 9y + 4z = 27

substitute x =9 , y=1 and z = 9 /4

              9 + 9 + 4(9/4) = 27

           27 =27

so satisfied equation

The half-life of radium-226 is 1600 years. Suppose we have a 27-mg sample.
slega [8]

A function m(t)= m₀e^(-rt) that models the mass remaining after t years is; m(t) = 27e^(-0.00043t)

The amount of sample that will remain after 4000 years is; 4.8357 mg

The number of years that it will take for only 17 mg of the sample to remain is;  1076 years

<h3>How to solve exponential decay function?</h3>

A) Using the model for radioactive decay;

m(t)= m₀e^(-rt)

where;

m₀ is initial mass

r is rate of growth

t is time

Thus, we are given;

m₀ = 27 mg

r = (In 2)/1600 = -0.00043 which shows a decrease by 0.00043

and so we have;

m(t) = 27e^(-0.00043t)

c) The amount that will remain after 4000 years is;

m(4000) = 27e^(-0.00043 * 4000)

m(4000) = 27 * 0.1791

m(4000) = 4.8357 mg

d) For 17 mg to remain;

17 = 27e^(-0.00043 * t)

17/27 = e^(-0.00043 * t)

In(17/27) = -0.00043 * t

-0.4626/-0.00043 = t

t = 1076 years
